it's a classic barack obama strawman. if anyone's points out the facts of his record, then they're just being negative and pessimistic about the country. the new strawman is people hoping for the decline of america. you know, it's pretty sad, but this is the closest president obama can come these days to sounding positive himself. but we have to face up to all that has gone on the past four years of the next four years can be better. [cheers and applause] ladies and gentlemen, we cannot afford to make economic failure a two-term proposition .

[applause] his full case these days is basically asking us to forget what he promised four years ago and focus on his new promises
